Derek and Ann’s Travels in the Phillipines
MAY 1999
We
decided
to
go
to
the
Phillipines
as
a
family.
Derek
and
I
flew
from
Birmingham,
our
daughter
and
boyfriend
(now
husband)
flew
from
London
and
our
son
working
in
Japan,
flew
from
Tokyo.
We
all
arrived
at
different
times
at
a
hotel
in
Manilla.
We
only
stayed
one
night
there
and
that
evening
Derek
went
to
get
some
bus
tickets.
Not
a
good
idea
walking
around
Manilla
at
night
–
it
was
closed!!
Next
morning
we
got
our
tickets
and
set
off
on
our
travels
by
many
buses
and
boats
around
the
different
islands.
While
on
one
island
James
completed
his
diving
qualifications
which
meant
that
all
five
of
us
could dive. We felt that diving down to 25 metres together was quite an achievement.
It
was
a
very
successful
holiday
with
lots
of
different
stories
to
tell.
Here
I
will
just
let
you
look
at
some
of our photos which include, in no particular order,
1.
Us
getting
ready
to
go
to
the
island
of
Camiguin
with
our
diving
equipment.
I
am
not
sure
now
(2019) how the island is as they suffered huge storms.
